It seems that whichever Halloween candy mix you buy, there is always at least one variety of candy in that mix that nobody in the family eats, and (if the mix actually makes it to Halloween)the trick-or-treaters donít choose. This year, the mix I bought had several favorites which got eaten quickly (actually before Halloween), but the malt balls just sat there in the bowl. After opening them, coarsely chopping them in the food processor, and adding them to a favorite blondie recipe, I learned that certain candies are better when added to a recipe rather than just eaten plain. Malt Balls are so good in these Malt Ball Blondies, I know Iíll be purchasing large packages of them from now on because these chewy bars will be requested often.
I shared these bars with some friends I work with and received raves and requests for the recipe. If you have malt balls at home, youíll want to make these bars, because not only are they yummy, they are quick and easy (no mixer is even needed). If you donít have malt balls at home, you will still want to make these bars; youíll just have to buy a big package of them next time youíre at the grocery store.
